TAHLEQUAH, OK — Life is hard enough. Growth and death and love and loss. Responsibility to those around you, those who came before you, those still to come. That’s life, and It’s beautiful, and it’s hard enough.
But life doesn’t have to be like this. This wealth-hoarding and discrimination. Self-love and love for others and dignity and peace of mind assaulted so the powerful can profit. Whole systems breeding poverty and hatred and fear, fueled by violence and death, set up so the powerful can profit. People miserable when they work and miserable when they aren’t working. People terrorized and traumatized and divided and conquered. That’s not how life has to be. It doesn’t have to be like this. We must keep fighting so some day it won’t be like this.
